Mbweni Ruins Hotel

Mbweni Ruins is a small hotel just outside Stone Town. It is perfect for those who want to be close to the museums, shops and restaurants of Stone Town, whilst remaining on the beach. It is only 15 minutes by car to the centre of Zanzibar's capital, and Mbweni provide a free shuttle service three times daily. It is also particularly convenient for people who want to spend a night somewhere before or after a stay at Chumbe Island Lodge - the daily boat to Chumbe leaves from Mbweni's jetty.

We have always believed that acting responsibly is the only way to approach tourism and we're one of
the few companies to hold AITO's original coveted 5-star status for responsible tourism. It's a lead
that others are now following.
